Part I [2]

oh, …
depart from my doorstep,
leave off your slick righteous spiel,
no need to knock again, babe,
i’m not the type to deal.
you say you’re searching for a soul,
one to share your chosen creed *
to spread your message more & more,
notwithstanding heed or need,
someone to open heaven’s blissful door!

but that’s a stretch, babe
you’re taking more than giving, babe
i’m not the catch you’re fishing for, babe
